I Turned 1 Cup of Lentils Into Crispy Crackers

What if I told you that you can turn one cup of lentils into insanely crunchy crackers? No flour, no gluten, no complicated ingredients. Just blend, bake and you get a high protein, high fiber snack that's unbelievably crispy. Today I'm going to make lentil chips or lentil crackers. They are so easy to make. You only need a few simple ingredients. I have red lentils here. They will be soaked in water for two hours and then you'll need to blend them with some water. And then you can also add one clove of garlic and some spices of choice. I have salt here, onion powder, paprika and a little bit of turmeric. But you can use any spices of choice. And that's it. So easy to make. I hope you will give it a try. So let's do this. Start by rinsing one cup of dry red lentils, about 200 grams, really well under running water. Then soak them in plenty of water for at least two hours. The lentils will absorb a lot of liquid and swell up. After soaking, drain them completely. Add the soaked lentils to a high speed blender with half cup fresh water, that's 120 milliliters, one clove of garlic, one teaspoon of salt and onion powder, paprika and turmeric to taste. Blend until completely smooth. If needed add a little bit more water, just until the mixture blends properly. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush it with a bit of oil. Pour the batter onto the sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Keep the layer fairly thin because the thinner it is, the crispier the crackers will be. Bake for 20 minutes. Take the tray out and cut the sheet into cracker or chip-sized rectangles. Scissors work really well for this. Gently loosen them from the parchment paper. Drizzle one to two tablespoons of oil over the crackers, for example olive oil or avocado oil. Toss them gently with your hands so they are lightly coated and spread them out again on the tray. You can skip the oil but they won't turn out quite as crispy. If you like, sprinkle a little extra paprika on top. Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until the crackers are golden and crispy. Let them cool slightly and enjoy your homemade lentil crackers. You can easily customize the flavor with your favorite spices. Perfect as a snack for dipping or as a crunchy topping for salads and rolls. You can see the lentil chips or lentil crackers. They turned out really amazing. I love how easy it was to make them and so quick also. And they turned out really nice, like so brown on the back and super crispy and light. So I will try one now. Listen to that crisp, to that crunch. Wow. So amazing. I can't stop eating them. Such a great and healthy snack. I love that you can choose your favorite ingredients, your favorite spices. You can change it every time, whatever you have at home or whatever you like. And so much healthier than store-bought chips or store-bought crackers. Yes, I hope you will give them a try and let me know in the comments what you think. See you next time. Bye. It's too hot. It was too hot. I'll do it again. I wanted to use scissors. Yes, you can do it again. Now you want to do the tasting for this one? Yes.
